SPOTTED: A Watch The Throne Rolex GMT Gifted And Engraved By Jay-Z And Kanye West

Monday's release of Watch The Throne by Kanye West and Jay-Z is the most talked about album in years, and is well on its way to selling 500,000 copies in the first WEEK (side note: have you ever sold 500,000 of anything in your entire life?) The album is chocked full of watch references, but we've actually spotted a watch given to someone close to Jay and Kanye in celebration of the Watch The Throne release.

Monday's release of Watch The Throne by Kanye West and Jay-Z is the most talked about album in years, and is well on its way to selling 500,000 copies in the first WEEK (side note: have you ever sold 500,000 of anything in your entire life?)

The album is chocked full of watch references, but we've actually spotted a watch given to someone close to Jay and Kanye in celebration of the Watch The Throne release. As you can see above, that is a picture of a modern Rolex with "W.T.T" engraved on the caseback, with "From Kanye & Jay" below.

The watch was spotted on the Tumblr of Kanye West's art director Virgil Abloh and it was uploaded on July 15th. The watch appeared to be a Rolex GMT II or modern Submariner, but we weren't sure until we saw this photo (seen below) uploaded on the 23rd, which shows what we can assume is the same watch as above, a Rolex GMT II with ceramic bezel.

So, Jay and Kanye gave someone (not sure who, of course) a new Rolex to celebrate the release of Watch The Throne, how cool is that? Imagine what that thing would fetch at auction if those guys at Sotheby's, Christies, or Antiquorum ever got their hands on it. Our guess is we'll never find out. Click either image to expand.

Oh and as a reminder, about of those big-faced Rollies? Jay-Z's got two of those.
